[chrome flame]

actually, it's the k- and the b- :
kama — from Tok Pisin kamap

“to arise, appear, be born, become”. It comes from English come up. Come comes from Middle English comen, from Old English cuman, from Proto-West Germanic *kweman, from Proto-Germanic *kwemaną “to come”, from the aorist subjunctive of Proto-Indo-European *gʷémt “to take a step, arrive”, the athematic root aorist of *gʷem- “to step”. Up comes from Middle English up, from Old English upp, from Proto-West Germanic *upp, from Proto-Germanic *upp “up”, from *ub “under” with a nasal affix representing earlier *up-nó, the root coming from Proto-Indo-European *upó “from below”, from root *h₁ewp- “to rise”.

anpa — from Acadian French en bas “below”. Equivalent to en “in” + bas “low”. The former comes from Middle French en, from Old French en, from Latin in, from Proto-Italic *en, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁én “in”; the latter comes from Old French bas, from Late Latin bassus “thick, stumpy, short, low”. It comes from either Ancient Greek βάσις (básis) “step, foot, base” or βαθύς (bathús) “thick, deep, profound”, or possibly from Oscan or Celtic. Ancient Greek βάσις (básis) comes from Proto-Hellenic *gʷə́tis, from Proto-Indo-European *gʷémtis “step”, from root *gʷem- “to step” + *(é)-tis (abstract/action noun suffix). Ancient Greek βαθύς (bathús) is the zero-grade of the root of βένθος (bénthos) “depth (of the sea)”, of uncertain origin; alternatively, from earlier *βαφύς (*baphús), related to Sanskrit गभीर (gabhīrá) “deep”; or, perhaps from Proto-Indo-European root *gʷeh₂dʰ- “to sink, submerge”.

wait Descole is from i'm getting my wires crossed

leton
puzzle, enigma

[gritty kestrel]

not a difficult mistake to make considering layton and ace attorney are similar enough that they got a crossover

[tight barn]

that is literally my favourite game from both series

[gritty kestrel]

absolutely based take, the crossover gets too much hate

[remote sun]

what from who

[gritty kestrel]

mostly when compared to other aa games, by people who aren't used to layton

[remote sun]

wait i just realised your pfp is from AA

[gritty kestrel]

people say the plot twist is absurd (this is normal for layton)
people say it's a "layton game starring phoenix wright" (true to an extent, but layton needs a big overarching setting/atmosphere to really work while ace attorney is more episodic, so the way it's assembled makes sense. also every single trial segment was phenomenal imo, not a bad case in the game)
i think i've seen some other criticisms were about losing the ace attorney humor/atmosphere, which is kind of true, but despite the compromises the game is really more than the sum of its parts imo

not related but while we're on the topic of layton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOkkNpBjYkg

[remote sun]

i don't think it's absurd

it suspends my disbelief

but so does that AA random poison that was in one case

atroquinine

[gritty kestrel]

that was a fake poison? lol

surely there is a poison that works similarly irl?

[remote sun]

yes but not one that can be detected by a random spray

[gritty kestrel]

true

[remote sun]

also who are the people saying that Layton x AA's twist is too unbelievable but

spirit channeling?

athena's technology?

apollo's... uh... quirk

edgeworth is just good at chess i guess that's nothing

[gritty kestrel]

exactly tho. i think maybe it's just because unlike ace attorney twists, layton twists usually come out of nowhere with minimal foreshadowing

maybe people just were new to layton and weren't prepared to suspend their disbelief that hard

[remote sun]

i think with a bit more foreshadowing it would have been better

but like

it wasn't soooo unbelievable

[tight barn]

popesoletonpasipiniwajesatani
the phenomenon of the bad nimi sin thread turning into a Professor Layton vs Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney discussion

[gritty kestrel]

we did get the ||bell scene foreshadowing||

iirc

[remote sun]

yeah but.

at that point the player thinks "yeah magic is just real"

[tight barn]

[gritty kestrel]

especially that one which was like an embassy divided in the edgeworth thing

that was really fun

[gritty kestrel]

that case is underrated imo

i1-5

[tight barn]

embassy? like corru.observer

[gritty kestrel]

who what now

[remote sun]

i didn't like the bad spell names in the AA x Layton thing though actually

[gritty kestrel]

oh like how they ||do the misheard name thing twice||

[remote sun]

but it makes sense once you consider ||that some random CEO made them up||

[remote sun]

no not that

[gritty kestrel]

ceo just made me instantly think of luigi 😭 it's not even recent anymore

[remote sun]

luigi made me think of mario

[gritty kestrel]

it's not even that recent anymore, it's been 40 years

since mario

mario'd

[remote sun]

like "dimere"

it's just a mid name

i guess every single other name had to be the way it was for the "pun" to work

[gritty kestrel]

yeah

godoor is goofy and just sounds like a godot reference even though it's not

but it had to be that way because

[tight barn]

i love how PLvPWAA borrows from the third PL game in terms of absolutely absurd construction effort for the setting

[remote sun]

because yes

"taelende" was just mid though

[gritty kestrel]

you mean, every pl game?

[remote sun]

or worse

[tight barn]

REAL

[gritty kestrel]

at least they made the joke about objection being a spell at the end

[tight barn]

but idk i think the third one is particularly spicy. HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY ||BUILD A HUGE HOLE UNDER LONDON LIKE THAT||

[gritty kestrel]

idk it would be dumb if the final spell was objection cuz why would it make sense

[remote sun]

yeah it would be

also does that mean on each of those ||slips of paper with the hypnotism ink, it also said "if you here taelende unhypnotise i guess"||

[gritty kestrel]

||step 1: go to london
step 2: dig a hole
step 3: ???
step 4: profit||

[remote sun]

because like how

[gritty kestrel]

yeah idk i think it's like a ||reverse sleeper agent trigger||

[remote sun]

[gritty kestrel]

idk

this is actually more convo about the crossover than i see in an actual aa server i'm in 😭

[tight barn]

that's tragic 😭

how often do they talk about how spirit of justice is irredeemably bad

[gritty kestrel]

idk cuz 99% of convos there are memes

sometimes there is a serious heated discussion

[tight barn]

what no AA in years does to a mf

[gritty kestrel]

also some people hate not just aj but apollo himself 😭 free my boy

[tight barn]

FREE MY BOY

just cus each game in the second trilogy is written as if the previous game doesn't exist doesn't mean he's a bad character!!!!

[gritty kestrel]

yeah i liked how apollo didn't really feel like carbon copy nick, like hes a lil snarkier (yeah he could've been more relevant to the plot but eh he funny)

aj in general had great ideas (including me, the great mr valalalant) but kinda mid execution, that's why i think a lot of people don't like it

[tight barn]

his failboyness is viscerally distinct from phoenix's

his theme song is good

[tight barn]

i literally don't remember this guy it's been too long

[gritty kestrel]

im gonna steal the words of someone else who described alba scenes in a very funny way: "you take a lot of time, assembling the avengers even though there are some people who really should not be assembling avengers-style"

[remote sun]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGKe9J6qhnc&ab_channel=Lossr this is all of quercus alba's case

[remote sun]

what language do they speak there i wonder

[tight barn]

sebahstian and bahbalic

[remote sun]

probably cohdopian which mysteriously transmuted into allebahstian and bahbalian when the country split

(yugoslavia moment)

[remote sun]

who's sebastian

[gritty kestrel]

a detail i love is that the symbol of allebahst is a flower, and bahbal a butterfly. ambassador of allebahst is quercus alba (scientific name of white oak tree/flower), and ambassador of bahbal is colias palaeno (scientific name of a type of butterfly i forgor which)

colias palaeno is peak

[remote sun]

apparently this is codohpian

it seems the countries haven't been apart long enough to claim separate languages

[gritty kestrel]

they're not going to invent new languages and force the entire population to learn them

just because they are different countries now

this happens irl afaik

like multiple countries speak same languages or similar

[tight barn]

serbo-croatian:

[remote sun]

not invent new languages

just claim that they speak separate languages

like serbia and croatia

who each say that they speak different languages to each other

[gritty kestrel]

ah right, makes sense

[remote sun]

(they don't)

they do use different writing systems though

[gritty kestrel]

so basically like "in america we speak american! we don't speak canadian, british, australian, or european!"

i need to find that original meme cuz i keep referencing it but i can't find it

[remote sun]

yep

amazing flag designs

[gritty kestrel]

did borginia or zheng fa ever get flags?

why are they ABC in english

in japanese they're A B K

don't think so

not really a nimisin but moreso a spelling "reform". every instance of the letters "li" is replaced with ඞ. so a normal sentence such as "meli li pali e kili lili seli" is now "meඞ ඞ paඞ e kiඞ ඞඞ seඞ". this improves toki pona because it provides a shorter way to write the common syllable that normally requires two letters. of course it sacrifices readabiඞty, and won't be understood by the majority of toki pona speakers, and the symbol isn't found on your keyboard so it's difficult to use, and only a few people will do it so often times there will only be one user per conversation, and it will cause a ඞttle hurdle in communication for non-users, even those famiඞar with the nasin, and using it is never going to change toki pona as a whole or convince others to ඞike it or use it, but hey, it saves a letter! we solved linguistics! i mean, uh, ඞnguistics.
